From June 29, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will give Express Entry candidates who receive an invitation to apply 60 days to submit their application for permanent residence.
in the begining of the pandemic, the invitation to apply period for permanent residence was increased from 60 to 90 days to provide clients with additional time to prepare their applications. It was meant to allow immigration applicants to have more time to prepare their documents. At the time, the pandemic had just started, causing service disruptions and grounding flights.
As Canada continues to welcome more newcomers, as outlined in the multi-year immigration levels plan, returning to the 60-day timeframe will support Canada in processing higher volumes of applications in shorter period of time.
Applicants who were invited to apply through the Express Entry system before June 29, 2021, will still have 90 days to submit their application for permanent residence.
Express Entry system is Canada’s famous application management system for key economic immigration programs, including the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and a portion of the Provincial Nominee Program.
